I would agree that if you convert on every crossing the additional "rake" would make the game tough to beat.
There must be places with a better cad/usd exchange rate down there (don't use the casino) In Vancouver there was a place with less than 1% spread on cad/usd and it wasn't particularly well known. Sadly haven't found anything nearly as good in the Toronto area.
When entering Canada you must declare if you are carrying the equivalent of $10,000
Canadian -- quite a bit less than $10k usd, be wary of that. You're allowed to carry as much cash as you like, you just have to declare it.
Would be sensible to just hold a CAD float if you're playing up north regularly instead of converting everything.

I'm looking online at the rates in the casino and there kinda high. I just need a bed and a TV lol. Maybe $50 a night if possible from the surrounding hotels in the area? Have anyone on here done anything like that?....Thanks
And does the Casino ever comp a room if I play for awhile? Any sort of discount or full comp?
I'm planning on heading to Niagara for like 2 days, 1 night maybe longer depending how the tables treat me lol
The only places you're getting $50 a night from are the low-rise motels. Which truthfully aren't bad. You just get what you pay for.
The Embassy Suites by Hilton occasionally have C$120/night weekends, probably the cheapest you are going to get a nice room for and it's only one block from Fallsview.
